Hello there, friend! Twenty something, he/him pronouns, beardo
weirdo. Currently living in Olympia, though I'm presently looking
at my options for moving up to Seattle or Tacoma in the near
future. Some primary interests of mine are music, games (digital
and otherwise), craftiness (particularly knitting and sewing,
though I'm still pretty beginner with both), and programming. I am
told by those close to me that I am a kind person, interesting and
of good humor; I guess if that sounds neat to you then send me a
message thing!

I'm currently in that flux state between degree and employment,
trying to find a way to turn "education" into "money". Other than
that, my time is mostly portioned out amongst creative efforts
(esp. music), internet wandering, spending time with friends, and
generally keeping varying levels of real and unreal.

I come up with bad puns and dad jokes like it's an Olympic sport.
Also, I'm pretty into doing chopped 'n' screwed versions of songs
nobody ever wanted chopped nor screwed. (I have this idea in my
head of doing an all Kidz Bop slowdown mix and calling it "Bopped
'n' Screwed".) I'm pretty good at vidya games, too. But mostly, I
guess I just try to be a good person and a good friend.

I dunno, have never really asked people? I guess maybe my haircut
or something? Sometimes I exude a certain playful awkwardness in my
mannerisms, like an odd shifty-eye here or an ironic grimace there,
so I'll just go with that. Or maybe my generally neutral-tone
wardrobe just really grabs attention.

Music's the big one for me, and there's a lot to say there, so I'll
try to give a sampling of some of my current faves right here: (I
also have a last.fm, though I've had it since high school so my
tastes have shifted a lot and I dunno how accurate it really is
anymore: http://www.last.fm/user/heaventennas )

I'm coming to terms with the fact that I have a short attention
span, which makes it a bit difficult to keep with books sometimes;
at the moment I have about a shelf's worth of books I "intend" on
finishing up sometime. Mostly non-fiction, because learning is FUN,
but I'm also into some good scifi or fantasy, especially stuff of a
weirder or philosophical bent (Philip K. Dick and Isaac Asimov type
stuff). I also like a lot of comics and graphic novels, with some
faves being The Invisibles, Akira, Watchmen, Promethea, Doom
Patrol, and a handful of smaller-press stuff.

For movies, some directors I dig are Darren Aronofsky, Alejandro
Jodorowsky, the Coen brothers, Harmony Korine, Paul Verhoeven,
Stanley Kubrick, Christopher Nolan, Wes Anderson, and Pixar (okay,
that one wasn't a director, but their stuff is collectively pretty
good). Beyond that, some particular movies I've enjoyed include I
(Heart) Huckabees, Pacific Rim, Akira (again), Grizzly Man,
Stalker, Night of the Living Dead, and others. But ultimately I'm
really more about the theater movie experience over watching
something at home, usually.

I haven't been watching many shows lately, mostly because (as I
mentioned before) short attention span makes dedicating to a show
regularly difficult; plus I don't watch much TV anyway. Mostly I'll
just watch stuff from YouTube. I really dig a lot of Adult Swim's
lineup though, especially stuff from Abso Lutely (i.e. Tim and
Eric, Check It Out, Eric Andre, etc.). Also, been getting into
watching WWE, because dudes in tiny pants frowning and being
dramatic and throwing each other around is beautiful.

Also, though it isn't mentioned under the header for this section,
I'm pretty into games, of all the video, board, and roleplaying
varieties. For video games, I'm pretty into weird little indie
games, but also a lot of rogue-likes and RPGs. Board games:
Dominion (doesn't technically use a board but whatev), Settlers of
Catan, Arkham Horror, Munchkin (also no board, blah blah), and a
lot of the more "classic" board games. Tabletop roleplaying, while
I've technically only played DnD 3.5 and 4E, I have a stack of
different systems I've been meaning to try out, in particular FATE,
Apocalypse World, Shadowrun, Unknown Armies, Polaris, and a handful
of others.

Music, games, social equality, ~*aesthetics*~, checking my
privileges, Shrek, possums, "internet art", how to coax David Tibet
and Danny Brown into collaborating, hyperspecific memes (like it's
a picture of Aragorn but he's talking about corn prices or asbestos
removal or whatever), kitties and puppies and other small versions
of animals.

Probably hanging out with friends at someone's house, or at home
online or working on some music project or something. Occasionally,
if fortune is smiling on my wallet, might be out getting a drink
somewhere (prolly Cryptatropa).

Honestly, I'm pretty open about most things, but I guess this is
prolly a good place to mention that I have depression, anxieties,
and a bit of ADHD (of the inattentive variety, to be specific). Not
that I make these a "private thing" necessarily, but just so you
know going in.

Also, I used to have a thing here talking about my participation in
the Amphibilon rebellion against the Reptiloid tyranny from Alpha
Centauri, but ever since the overthrow happened and the Treaty of
Io was signed I've kinda put that in my past; nowadays I just do
what I can to help maintain galactic peace.

... you're an interesting person, generally chill and of good
humor, and if I give you a similar impression. Preferably, include
a comment or question about something neat you see on my profile,
just to jump-start past all the awkward "Hi..." "How are you..."
stuffs.

Oh! On another note entirely, if you speak Esperanto at all (or are
interested) and want to practice speaking it together, you should
message me as well! I'm working at learning it, and having someone
else to speak it with would be great.

Note: I'm absolutely hell when it comes to messages on here, so
apologies in advance if it takes me a couple days at a time to
respond.
